| | I state this here not a political protest, which is abundant and can take care of itself, but as a suggestion that the treatment of the Trojan War which I am outlining is not only interesting in itself, but also timely in historical overview. | | | Reading the Iliad some of us always had a sneaking suspicions that the Trojans might have been the good guys. | | | This is also a good place for scenes of the excavations at Troy and surrounding countryside, also sea and Bosporos as gateway to the Euxine. |

| | The Trojan War |
| | The Greeks sailed to Troy, but the Trojans refused to return Helen and thus the war was on; but Troy was so well defended that all the Greeks could do was surround the city and wear them down slowly by a siege. | | | But there are some noteworthy stories of his life before the war began: first is the scene by Rubens showing the popular legend that his mother Thetis dipped him into the river Styx, which made him invulnerable to harm, except for the spot on his heel where she held him, hence the term 'Achilles' heel'. | | | This was because his mother Thetis had some knowledge of the future and knew he would die young if he joined the war, and had hidden him there to prevent that from happening. |

| | The short answer is "probably."Though for most of modern history, archeologists believed that the war was just a legend, today it is accepted that there probably was such a war. | | | The one which most likely corresponds with the great war of the Achaeans is Troy VI, which was destroyed in 1260 BCE either by earthquake or by attack. | | | One theory of the Mycenaean fall may be found in Homer and Greek legends. |
